dont be sorry its just an opinion... what Wilson is doing here with his lead arm is much different than what Kap/Trey are doing... Wilson is using the off hand and arm to generate roational inertia which is correct, Kap/Trey are using the off hand for balance to correct for errors in their passing motion
What are talking about the lead arm lol? It's a freaking screenshot
The lower half of throwing mechanics are what matter much more when it comes to throwing an accurate ball. Could his throwing motion be a little more compact sure…there's a s**t ton of QBs that are successful without being the best there.
you asserted from your pic of Wilson that Trey's passing mechanics are more like his... you are wrong as far as I am concerned, they are completely different and the lead arm is one example just from these pics alone... when guys wind up like Kap/Trey to throw the ball the lead arm extends out and they "point" because the wind up causes a a balance problem, its a hard habit to break...
The only thing I see in common between Trey and Kaepernick is they're wide striders. Trey needs to tighten his base. He's throwing with wide strides a lot(not every time) which inhibits hip rotation and will cause him to be inaccurate. Trey looks like a more natural thrower than Kaepernick was and is more grounded with his feet. Kaep would get really hoppy on his dropbacks. He also has a more compact and smooth throwing motion. Kaepernick looked like a pitcher winding up and Lance looks like an outfielder.
Lance won't have the extreme explosiveness in the run game as Kaepernick did but has more upside as a passer, IMO. Personally, I like Lance more as a prospect than I did Kaepernick and I was pretty high on Kaep in 2013 and early 14.
Wilson looks like a very, very smooth thrower. His body mechanics are really refined. It makes it look like he's hardly trying to throw a lot. I think he's the smoothest passer we've seen come out in a number of years.
EDIT: my bad. I thought y'all were talking about Zach Wilson, not Russ.
